Living on other people's property : land rights of farm dwellers on wildlife ranches in South Africa

Brooks, Shirley et al.

Powerpoint presentation. The panel is part of the activities of the 15th Annual International Sustainable Development Research Conference, Utrecht, 5-8 July 2009.

This panel aims to explore current processes of land alienation; who are the main actors in land grabbing and what interests are behind it? Who are the sellers (part of exit strategies) and intermediaries, and what is the position of local groups? What is the role of policy and markets in the processes of land acquisition and conversion? And what are the implications of the new land acquisition for local development, in terms of environmental, economic and social sustainability?
